RED KETTLE
MATCH DAY SUCCESSFUL!CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN STILL DOWN

WAUWATOSA, WI. — (December 10, 2013) The Forest County Potawatomi
Foundation sponsored The Salvation Army’s first Red Kettle Match Day on
Friday, December 6th. The event was successful! Donations were matched that
day, dollar for dollar up to $12,500 by the foundation, actually totaling
$35,501, 77. However, Red Kettles are still down $61,260.

“The economy is slowly repairing, but many families continue to
experience tough times. We’ve seen a significant increase in the numbers
of people coming to us for assistance, especially new families, never before
needing help,” said Major Dan Jennings, Salvation Army Divisional
Commander for Wisconsin & Upper Michigan.

“We are grateful to the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation for
sponsoring our first and successful Red Kettle Match Day Campaign. We hope
other corporations and foundations will consider hosting a Red Kettle Match
Day,” said Jennings.

The Red Kettle Campaign goal of $3.5M is critical to sustaining 85 Salvation
Army Milwaukee County programs and services. Through these programs and
services The Salvation Army provides individuals, families and children with
food, shelter, clothing and hope.

Eighty four cents of every dollar donated supports year round critical
programs and services.
